WAM for Business and the Individuals who make the business

Glenda Stone
CEO, Aurora states:

“We employ people with five qualities: skills, attitude, attitude, attitude, attitude.

Skills you can always train, develop, familiarise, but they’ve got to have the right mindset.”

At WAM we don’t believe that you can make it without any skills. We assume you know that too. But if 80% of your success is down to attitude we can most definitely help you get yours working for you.

Below are some extracts from The Times*, published in September 2005. Heads of top companies in their fields were interviewed and spoke about the secrets of their success, their “Winning Ways”. We think you’re more likely to take their word for it than ours, so here’s what they had to say:

Jean-Pierre Garnier
CEO, Glaxo-Smith-Kline

“I don’t know anyone who is passionate and unsuccessful.

Chip Goodyear
CEO, BHP Billiton

“…successful people have a significant amount of energy.”

“Two of the biggest challenges I face are creating alignments between organizations and alignments between people. When you are bringing counter parties together, people often think there has to be a winner and a loser. You tend to be more successful if you try to define a win-win outcome.”

Philip Green
Owner, Bhs and Arcadia

“If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it”
“The success is then getting those people to share your way of thinking.”

Eric Daniels
CEO, Lloyds TSB

“Find the things you like to do. Life is short, and it doesn’t make sense if you don’t love what you are doing.”

Lloyd Dorfman
Chairman and CEO, Travelex

“… self belief is vital.”

“You have to dig deep and believe you are up to the challenge.”

“…do what you enjoy. I find that people who have that enthusiasm stand out.”

Robin Rowland
CEO, YO! Sushi

“Really successful people don’t live in the present. They imagine the future and visualize what their customers want. The people who inspire me are happy to take risks and make mistakes, but they don’t dwell on their mistakes or punish other people for them. They have enormous self belief, are self reliant and have the vision to drive the business.”

At WAM we agree. Let us show you how the WAM concept can make you and your business a winner.
